The Holy Quran 49:14 — Surah Al-Hujurat

Arabic text

۞ قَالَتِ ٱلْأَعْرَابُ ءَامَنَّا ۖ قُل لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا۟ وَلَـٰكِن قُولُوٓا۟ أَسْلَمْنَا وَلَمَّا يَدْخُلِ ٱلْإِيمَـٰنُ فِى قُلُوبِكُمْ ۖ وَإِن تُطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ لَا يَلِتْكُم مِّنْ أَعْمَـٰلِكُمْ شَيْـًٔا ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Translation

The villagers say, "We have Imaan.” Say, "You do not have Imaan but rather say, 'We have accepted Islaam' because (true) Imaan has not yet entered your hearts." (Imaan and Islaam are separate.) If you obey Allaah and His Rasool ﷺ, Allaah will not reduce (the rewards for) your actions in the least. Verily Allaah is Most Forgiving (of the past), Most Merciful (will reward in full).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The difference between iman and Islam: here it is explained that when iman (faith) and certainty become fully established in the heart and take root, then qualities such as backbiting, fault-finding and the like leave a person.
